A woman who faked a pregnancy and panicked as her supposed due date grew near attacked a pregnant mother with a baseball bat and cut her full-term foetus from her womb, killing the mother and baby, court documents said.

POLICE say a Milwaukee woman abducted a young pregnant mother and removed her foetus just days before the baby was due, killing the mother and her unborn child.
